Shopping Staples: This Mall Keeps Us Coming Back

(SPOT.ph) When Central Square opened in 2014, people considered it the go-to movie place in Bonifacio Global City—it really is the only place where people can watch movies at Bonifacio High Street, where you can get a spectacular movie-experience thanks to their state-of-the-art cinemas (fun fact: the first 4DX opened here).

But the mall has quickly become one of our favorites in the Metro, with its nice restrooms (admit it—that's one of the things you look for in a good mall) and bright, stylish interiors—complete with those attention-grabbing pieces by Kenneth Cobonpue floating above the atrium.

Of course, the biggest reason we keep going back to Central Square are the dining and shopping options. Allow us to give you a rundown on some of the brands you can find at Central Square.

The first Pottery Barn in the country (and in Southeast Asia!) found a home in Central Square back in July 2014. The two-storey flagship store is the place to be if you feel like revamping your home or if you're just looking for a nice accent piece to spruce up your living room—or even just looking for a nice gift for a friend. It houses Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, and Pottery Barn Baby.

Towards the end of 2014, British toy store Hamleys opened their first store in the Philippines at the upper ground floor of the mall. The brightly lit store is lined shelves packed with different kinds of cool toys—some, you can even play with! It's the perfect place to keep the little ones entertained. Kids and kids-at-heart will never want to leave!
